Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to this latest edition of the Chieti Classica International Music Festival.
Chieti Classica was founded with a clear and enduring goal of celebrating the richness of classical music while fostering dialogue between generations, cultures, and artistic traditions. Set in a city of such remarkable historical and cultural import, this festival provides a unique space where young and emerging talents can meet, collaborate, and share their passion for music alongside some of the most acclaimed names in the classical music world.
Over the years, Chieti Classica has grown into an international platform that values artistic excellence, music education, and cultural exchange in equal measure. Through its concerts, masterclasses, and collaborative projects, the festival continues to support young musicians at crucial stages of their development, offering them the chance to engage in meaningful and memorable musical experiences.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our artistic leadership, faculty, performers, partners, and supporters, whose dedication and vision make this festival possible. Above all, however, I wish to thank the musicians and audiences who give Chieti Classica its true spirit and purpose.
I wish all of you who have joined us here an inspiring and rewarding festival, filled with creativity, discovery, and the joy that only our shared global heritage of music can bring.
